Technology ACE714 High Efficiency Low Noise PFM Step-up DC/DC Converter Description The ACE714 PFM step-up Converter drives white LEDs with a constant current to provide backlight in cell phones, PDAs, and other handheld devices. It features allowing series connection of the white LEDs so that the LED currents are identical for uniform brightness. An enable input can be pulsed repeatedly to adjust LEDs brightness. The fast 500HKz to 2MHz operation frequency allows for smaller capacitor and inductor. Fault condition protection uses cycle-by cycle current limiting to sense maximum inductor current and over-voltage protection. The 0.2V low reference voltage minimized the power loss across the current sense resistor. The converter can operate from 2V to 6V, and capable of delivering maximum 200mA output current at 4-LEDs application with 3V input voltage is as low as 120uA. All of these features make ACE714 be suitable for the portable devices, which are supplied by a single battery. ACE714 is available in SOT-23-6 package that is PB free.

Using a PWM Signal to CE Pin When adding the PWM signal to CE pin, the ACE714 is turned on or off by the PWM signal, so the LEDs operate at either zero or full current. The average LED current increase proportionally with the duty cycle of the PWM signal. The frequency range of the PWM signal is from 1 kHz to 300KHz. 2. Using a DC Voltage From the Figure 2, we can add a DC voltage to FB pin, we adjust the LED current by changing the DC voltage, which control the brightness, DC voltage range is from 0V to 2V.
